THE TEAM
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY
ANDREW TSAI
ANDREW TSAI loves anime a little too much. He came up with the initial concept for UNBEATABLE fairly soon after making a game where you have to type to stay alive, and then told Jeff about it, and then they told other people, and hey, now you know. He does the art direction, a lot of animation, some of the code, has a "story by" credit, and handles combat design and polish. Lots of hats! More hats than a person usually has space for on their head. He's the reason the characters have music names. If he isn't working, he's playing JRPGs.
RJ LAKE
RJ LAKE has been sort of accidentally-ing his way through the games industry for almost a decade now, bouncing between asset creation, design, biz dev, and Other. Used to work on Homestuck* (listen to volume ten!) and does stuff with Strange Scaffold (dog airport!). Does Not Code, And Is Sorry. He's handling music direction, additional music, narrative design, dialogue, some setpiece design, all the storyboarding Andrew doesn't do, and is in charge of most of the marketing (the trailer was his fault). He's to blame for all the jokes.
PRODUCED BY
JEFFREY CHIAO
Jeffrey Chiao is UNBEATABLE’s producer, lead beatmap designer and helps out RJ with biz dev stuff! They keep our production timelines under control, and build some of the amazing charts that accompany Peak Divide’s soundtrack. When they're not working on UNBEATABLE and a ton of other games, they can be frequently found at the nearby Round1 playing Bemani games.
Darryl Kay
Darryl Kay is a the third member of the Producer group for UNBEATABLE. He loves bringing people together to chase and fulfill their dreams and is honored to work with such a diverse and talented team here at D-CELL. Coo.
RACHEL LAKE
Rachel Lake is also a producer on UNBEATABLE, on top of providing lead vocals for the soundtrack. She also lends a hand derailing meetings with Garfield memes. Even though she voices Beat, Quaver is her bias.
LEAD DESIGN BY
RICHARD GUNG
Richard is the Design Lead and has done a lot of [almost] everything, notably: VFX, juicing the polish of gameplay and cutscenes, some animations and illustrations, and gameplay programming. He does a lot to help the directors guide the project, like drawing storyboards and fleshing out narrative scenes. He likes game randomizers, VNs, and arcade games.
MUSIC BY
CLARA MADDUX
Clara Maddux is D-CELL's resident composer and musician. Her musical journey started by playing drums for rock bands that regularly pushed sound pressure levels far past safe listening limits, but she eventually waned on the aggressive use of volume in order to study the sorcery that is jazz composition. She's responsible for the live recording that drives UNBEATABLE.
VASILY NIKOLAEV
Jack of all cables, mastering of songs; Vasily Nikolaev (@VastonikMusic) makes it his goal to immerse yourself in worlds that sound real, but feel stylish. Music composer and SFX artist, he handles mixing of all the songs in the game and is responsible for most of the synth work and wilder production tricks you'll hear, as well as a huge chunk of the sound design.

CJ BLACK
CJ BLACK is addicted to drinking weird anime after smoking a blunt full of skateboards. Veteran criminal, he's never been behind bars because he can't be caught. Compared to the rest of the team he's relatively new to the scene, but he does great work. He plays with all sides of game development, but loves making distinct action systems for small games, something along the line of hookshot fishing at the end of the world. He's a psychedelic loving action game freak, and always open to suggestions.

Rhythm games and beat'em ups are among her (many) favorite genres, and working on a mix of the two has been a lifelong goal... until UNBEATABLE came along and made the dream a reality. She will talk your ear off about any games or series she's remotely enthusiastic about, which is just about most of them.
ELI STAVRIDIS
Eli Stavridis is a cinematic animator for UNBEATABLE. When she's not working, she's either baby-talking her cat or begging someone to watch One Piece.

KAREN HAN
Karen Han is a concept artist on UNBEATABLE. In the wild, you can find her taking pictures of peeling paint and crown molding. She likes Shiina Ringo a little too much, and when not drawing can be found screeching Crime and Punishment into a karaoke mic somewhere. Don't let her start talking about her favorite utaite.
LONGIY

Which is why she's also the creator of her own game, vivid/stasis, and provides QA assistance for NOISZ STΔRLIVHT! She also lives in Canada, but has never seen bagged milk in her life.
TARONUKE
Taro has been playing rhythm game content for over two decades, and creating rhythm game content for almost as long... He's a master of making weird and wacky charts, and has contributed to many rhythm games that already exist. If you've played a lot of rhythm games, you've probably played something he's touched!
